Caution
• The product ensures IP54 protection only if it is
installed according to the instructions given in this
booklet.
• Using another type of speed regulator may cause
difficulty in regulating the speed of the unit and also
cause it to operate noisily.
Before installing the unit, make sure the circuit is
provided with an overload protector set according to
the nominal current indicated on the data plate.
Start-up
• After performing the necessary electric connections,
power the unit with a three-phase voltage of 400 Vac
50 Hz. Use the special knob to turn on the regulator,
which automatically performs the soft-start and
speed-up. The output voltage automatically switches
from 0 V to the maximum value, regardless of the
position of the regulation knob, until it reaches the
value set on the knob. The regulation knob can also
be used to set the output voltage. If required, it is
also possible to calibrate the max. and min. values
of the output voltage using the regulation trimmers
provided for this purpose (Fig. 18).
• The regulator can be assembled at a maximum
distance of 50 metres from the electronic group by
using a double insulation cable with a section of
2
5x0,75 mm
(minimum section).
